Presto Pasta Night Roundup #42

There seems to be a common theme this week....most of us are frantically trying to get ready for the holidays. This week we have lots of quick dishes to put together while rushing about to stay on top of things(you know the drill - shopping, baking, cooking, entertaining, packing for those family trips back home). We all need something easy to prepare while juggling all the other things we have to do, so dig in!

Katie at Thyme for Cooking took time from her busy rushing about to whip up this perfect dish of Farmhouse Pasta (I know it's perfect because I tried it last night! It's good to be the host of PPN. I get the sneak previews!)

Judith of Think on It shares her perspective of comfort foods and gives us the Ultimate Beef Ragu - what's more comfort food than that!? And I love this photo of frozen ragu out in the plowed field because as she says "a good meat sauce is as basic as dirt".

And my dish is also one of those easy dish to throw together during this frenzied time of year. I call it Anything BUT Leftover Pasta. You'll have to read the post to understand.
